Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro. Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model. Hope this will help others as they research.
Intended Use Cases
Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property. The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion. Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus. Experiences So Far
Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing. The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame. I expect a little better QC.
I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage. It isn't quiet; it's silent. I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller. The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4. Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent). The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque. It feels very powerful. All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard. Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more. Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
Power steering is nice, but vague. Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input. Plan early and plan often.
In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart. I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done. After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th.
Until next time...

I never see videos of hear of people taking these things to the big trails. Do you ? I just got one and want to.

Honest question for experienced riders - how much of a real problem is losing cell signal on the trail?
Context: I'm coming from the overlanding world where staying connected is a big deal (long multi-day trips, remote locations, solo travel). I invested in a cellular booster for my truck (around $400) and it's been worth every penny for both safety and convenience.
Now getting into UTVs and trying to figure out if this is even a relevant concern, or if I'm bringing truck-camping mindset to a completely different activity.
Specifically:
In your experience, is cell coverage while riding a "nice to have" or a "need to have"? Do you actively try to maintain connectivity, or is "going off-grid" part of the appeal? For those who've spent money on connectivity solutions, what did you end up with and was it worth it? I'm seeing some cellular boosters marketed for vehicles in that price range, but almost zero discussion in UTV forums. Either it's not a real problem for most riders, or there's something about UTVs that makes traditional boosters impractical.
For those who ride in legitimately remote areas - what's your actual setup? Just curious if I'm overthinking this or if there's a real gap here.

86 hours on a 2024 SX XC LE. First oil change was at roughly 45 hours. Noticed oil drops under the Mule so I checked the dipstick and was low. So I added oil to the correct level and took it for a ride. Drove fine but I smelled hot oil so I tilted the bed back and you could see oil bubbling out from underneath a black plastic housing (see pic). There are screws/bolts into this plastic cover that are loose and falling out. I have never touched these screws so not sure how they got loose? And what is that? It's not far behind the crankcase dipstick. Not sure if this type of thing is covered under warranty. We've already had it to the Dealer for high idle problems, that was covered under warranty.
